Thank you for the time you've put in! Love this forum...
I do like the ones we have now. The issue I have with them is that they have a lot of poor coding and minor bugs due to me being too much of a noob a few years ago.
Instead of going through code to find the bugs for hours on end, I’d rather start completely fresh and see if I can modernize it a little bit more. (I feel like this new font feels much more modern than the current font.)
Starting fresh and using clean code also means faster page loading.

I like it. I'd just suggest redesigning the 3 in Tacoma 3G. It doesn't flow that well for me. Other than that...cool!
Yeah, I've actually fixed that already but haven't uploaded it yet. Thanks for the feedback!
I've run various forums for over 20 years now, and that is the norm. Right now I am down to running one forum which I have been cleaning up; after one year of no post/no visits, then the user is deleted. I am now down to 3k members, 2k with zero post, on a 13yo forum. You might want to enable email verification, that will help limit bots which are likely a large number of the non posting members.
I feel you.
None of the members you see in the member count are bots though. The bots join and try to post but it doesn't show because I have a filter in place. Then I see that they are a bot, ban their IP and email, then delete their account so it doesn't inflate the amount of members it says we have.
We really do have about 6,500 members but only a few thousand are active per annual quarter. Not the best, not the worst.
Great Job Tyler,
Your hard work and dedication for this page shows tremendously. I appreciate and enjoy viewing and reading your efforts. Thank you

Dont know what everyone else thinks, but maybe a minumum ammount of posts required to post on the marketplace?
Seem to be alot of lurkers lately.....
Seem to be alot of lurkers lately.....
Good point. I think I meant to do that a while ago and totally forgot.
Everyone needs 10 or more total posts to use that section now. That, or T3G Supporter. Same as how RotM works.
It is my goal to have this with T3G 2.0 but I still haven't found a way to implement it for everyone. I can do it but the risk is people putting a completely unrelated URL in that spot. I don't think anyone would do anything malicious, but idk.
Aaannd just as I posted that, I think I figured it out.
Your build thread link is
https://tacoma3g.com/threads/nvtacos-2021-pro-slow-build.11416/. The numbers at the end, 11416, are the unique ID of the thread. I'm pretty sure I can make it so the user only puts those numbers in the text box and then the full link is automatically populated. Sweet!
I have a suggestion. You know how you can't post to the ROTM unless you have made 10 posts or something? I think it would be interesting if you made it so you couldn't post questions about wheels or tires until you made 10 posts as well. Just as a social experiment ya know?
What do you think the benefit of that would be?
I sort of agree, but these new guys have to rack up 10 posts somehow... lol
I meant to put lifts and tires...I flubbed the joke.
LOL
Limiting new members and/or new Tacoma owners from being able to ask their newbie questions, regardless of how many similar questions have been asked previously, isn’t something I will do.
Most forums have a “search first”, or worse, a “did you even Google it” mentality. I don’t agree with that. Repetitive newbie questions is like 1/3 of what an online forum is for.
Yeah, I think I was just venting a bit and trying to make a joke about people driving directly from the Toyota lot to the Discount Tires. I think the lock down is effecting my brain. Ignore me. It's been a difficult work week.
everyone's brains, has been effected with all of the BS.
To be honest...not a fan of the new update. The black background with the dark red headers make it really hard to find where the page breaks are (Is there a way to change that, that im missing?). The overall new fonts make the forum site feel older, the previous Tacoma3G felt new and modern compared to this update. Also the organization of the home page on the previous site was easier to find thread posts. I would also make the MAIN header be able to fit all the categories (home, forum, resources, etc.), I couldnt find ROTM until I hit the scroll button, if the fonts were smaller they would all fit.
All of this is my opinion of course
Glad to see the site is being worked on, I like to see that its growing!
Update: I didnt read the new front page until now, I see that color changes will still be an option and the other notes. I still find the overall new layout of the forum more challenging than the previous version, but maybe thats because I got used to the old version.
All of this is my opinion of course

This is good feedback and I will get to replying to it. Real quick though, the regular forum homepage that we’ve always had is here: ForumTo be honest...not a fan of the new update.
